No Bake Cookies

When I want a quick chocolate fix, nothing is easier than making a batch (or double batch) of no-bake cookies.  They come together in no time and contain all the sugary, chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness that I need to satisfy my sweet tooth.  The interwebs are full of no-bake cookie recipes that are all basically the same with some minor variations; I use this one and usually always double it as they store very well in the freezer and it doesn't take any extra time since there is no baking involved. 

Melt the butter.

Stir in the cocoa, sugar, and milk (we use reconstituted dry milk since we don't keep regular milk in the house).

Add vanilla, peanut butter, and oats.  (And a pinch of salt, which is not included in the recipe.)

Form them on waxed paper lined cookie sheets.  Let them set up in the freezer, then transfer the frozen cookies to storage containers.
